I know, but the DS460C it very deep… and also somewhat more expensive
😉
I tried to investigate a bit more, and NetApp mentions MSATA on their 8 and 10TB PN for the DS4486 which worries me, so I would guess the drive connectors are SATA and not SAS in which case it is a no-go…

Emne: Re: Migration to DS4486 shelf?
Maybe easier to use a DS460C ?
Same 4HU, space for 12 more disks, already 12GB/IOM12...
And should be officially supported, I think.

P.S. And yes, there's a proactive evacuation of the "other" disk, if one fails. And publishes the disks as 2 "partitions" of a single disk to ONTAP... (which the DS460C does not do)

Hi there
Because of space constraints I am planning to move my 3 pcs. DS212C into a DS4486.
But I have a few questions 😊
My existing disks are X318 (8TB NL-SAS), and I think the caddies for the DS4486 are also SAS, so that should technically fit?
Does the NetApp see 24 or 48 disks from the DS4486? Because I plan to reuse existing disks with aggregates on them…
I can see the DS4486 use special PN as spare disks because the caddy has two disks installed. How does NetApp handle the replacement when one disk of the two dies?
I know the healthy disk is also copied to a spare before you can replace the caddy, but do you then replace both disks, or do you just replace the broken disk of the two?
I also have plans on replacing the IOM6 modules with IOM12 just as you can in the DS4246 shelfs.. any issues with that?
I know this is close if not far beyond what is supported 😉
